For Current Information Please visit: http://cityofsignalhill.org/coronavirus

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, I want to acknowledge what a stressful time this is for all of us.  I believe the best way to manage our stress is by relying on accurate information from credible sources.

The City Council and City Management Team have been closely following daily updates from both the State and the County.  Monday evening, the County issued a Health Officer Order that restricted food facility operations and closed specific businesses including bars, nightclubs, gyms, bowling alleys, movie theaters, and arcades.
